Their ethics are a short summary of police ordinances: for them the
most important thing is to be a useful member of the state, and to air
their opinions in the club of an evening; they have never felt the
homesickness for something unknown and far away, nor the depths which
consists in being nothing at all. ___________Soren Kierkegaard

Sure. A triangle has one possible configuration for a given set of side lengths. Four (or more)
sided figures have many possible configurations. (Triangles are stable, four sided figures are not.)
